Jul 13, 2009 Location: 22 oz bottle from Greens Discount Beverage - Atlanta (Buford Hwy), 7/13/09
Aroma: Sweet nose, bread, toasted, some dark fruits, pretty nice mix of smells
Appearance: Caramel/orange color, minimal head
Flavor: Tasty and sweet, nice amount of spice, toasty, solid brew
Palate: Smooth and drinkable, a nice amount of body, minimal alcohol kick for a scotch
Overall Impression:
A nice scotch, not the typical scotch, but enjoyable. I little too sweet maybe, but it’s a nice sweetness, so I really enjoyed it.

Jul 12, 2009 Unique take on the scotch ale.... pours amber-mahogany into the glass, with a thin ring that reduces to window-wash lace. A definitive "specialty bread" nose.... crossing between banana bread and a heavier cinnamon-raisin bread. Lots of licorice in the flavor, with a light hop that reduces to a cinnamon pie-spice finish. The finish lingers long and spiced with a smooth mouthfeel and silky body. Interesting that it hits hard on some of the rating "specifics", yet doesn’t pull together as an offering that lends itself to staple-hold consumption. It’s definitely a special occasion brew, but finds its spot in a nightcap setting.

Jun 28, 2009 Too sweet and syrupy for me. Tasted like a grape jolly rancher with some alcohol in the finish. Tasted like it had too much unfermented sugar. A little smokey with a dominating sweet malt presence. Not the most drinkable beer.

Jun 27, 2009 Draft @ the brewery. Pours a dark amber with tons of lacing, very nice retention on the thin white head. Dark fruits, dates, caramel malt, sweet, some cherry, brown sugar and some toasted malts. Medium body, a little higher carbonation than I would have expected from a scotch ale. On the sweet side, drinkable.
